Lesson 19:  Programming the Shield

After creating your basic shield, you may want to infuse it with a certain frequency of energy and ability, or even a protection. Programming the shield as you put it up will accomplish this.

To program a shield, you take a substance like a candle, a gemstone, or music. Then by activating the energies, you place your intent into the shield and program your shield. You do this by centering yourself and using that material to program your shield as you build your shield.

Using a candle(s) to program your shield:

Take your candle or candles of your chosen color. While you are raising your shield, concentrate on the intent of what you wish to accomplish while holding your candle.

Using music to program your shield:

While you are raising your shield, have your choice of music playing. Different music will affect your shield differently. Now the primary meaning of music and the effects are there. You do want to consider the fact that the music will also have a personal meaning for you and for other people. Be mindful of this and choose wisely.

Using gemstones to program your shield:

The many different properties of the gemstones are uniquely equipped to provide an excellent programming effect and reinforcing effect to your shield. As you raise your shield, have the crystal in hand and place your intent. If the crystal is small enough, you may place it in your pocket or on your person somewhere to keep it with you. This will help reinforce your programming of the shield.

General Properties of a few crystals:

Amethyst:
